Arnold Clark Automobiles is expanding its network of Arnold Clark Autoparts depots which support independent garages.

Its latest branch will open in Chesterfield in September, taking the total to 15 locations, spanning from Inverness in northern Scotland to West Bromwich in England's Midlands.

Craig McCracken, group factor manager at Arnold Clark Autoparts, said: “It’s an exciting time for the company, as we expand further with new branches across the Midlands and north England to serve more trade customers than ever before.

“Continued investment will ensure we are firmly placed to meet the challenges of the future, serving independent garages with extensive availability of high-quality products.”

The branch stocks exclusive Arnold Clark Autoparts brands including Disctech braking, Ultratec oils and Goliath batteries, all of which are eligible for rewards under Arnold Clark Autoparts’ A-Points loyalty scheme.

A-Points rewards independent workshops for purchases through Arnold Clark Autoparts with loyalty points being credited back to accounts every month.

Arnold Clark Autoparts also operates an online shop, offering thousands of parts ranging from bulbs and dash cams to wipers from its 100,000sq ft Glasgow warehouse.
